Answered so many questions
The January 27, 2023 episode was probably the best/most interesting/most helpful homeschooling podcast episode I have listened to in the two years I have been homeschooling. Thank you.
Whew… Your back!
Please overlook any grammar errors I was public school educated!😂
I am so THRILLED the podcast is back! I am sad we will be losing the original team but with all the other sisters and experts you had on before will help with the transition. You unintentionally redirected us into that environment.
Before I found your podcast I felt lost in this journey. Even though I have two very good co-op groups and a slew of sisters to get advice from. I found myself starting out with two moms on opposite ends of the spectrum. One who payed top dollar for the video, books , one and done to the mom who Harley used anything brand new and made up her own curriculum from several different resource's.
I just didn’t know where we fit in.
Every year it feels like we are finally figuring this thing out and I don’t get as overwhelmed. I don’t think going to public school will ever be an option for us. We have been able to focus and jump around to the “land of no grade levels”. We are in such a small community where everyone knows everyone and if my kids went back they may not even be with the same class mates , they may be ahead and they would be bored and not have that relationship they had before so I didn’t want to cause issues there.
Anyway I’m so glad you atleast are back I feel more grounded in the normalcy of this podcast. I’m glad your not pushy in your marketing. I can’t express how annoyed I am with those website that you just want to browse on and about 7 seconds in it pops up the “ signup for a discount page”! I’m on your website so just give me the discount. Lol
Best wishes to all leaving and all who plan to stop by! I can’t hardly wait.
Miss my sisters
I feel like I’m in the conversation with Cait and Kara as they talk openly about the ups and downs homeschooling and parenting. When I go to long with out listening are start to feel their absence in my life. These sisters have helped me feel confident in my own approach school with my kids. Think about each child individually and take it one season at a time.
